Hull

== English == === Etymology === The town in England is Inherited from Middle English Hull, Hul, Hulle, traditionally derived from Proto-Brythonic *hʉl, from Proto-Celtic *soulos, from Proto-Indo-European *sew- (“to press”); Breeze instead suggests derivation from hula, plural of hulu (“hut”). Chaucer's Hulle (for expected *Hul, *Hule) is presumably a hypercorrect Southern form. The surname is either from the English town or Middle English hulle, western variant of hylle (“hill”); many other place names are ultimately from the surname. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /hʌl/ (Northern England) IPA(key): /hʊl/, (nonstandard) /ʊl/ === Proper noun === Hull (countable and uncountable, plural Hulls) A placename: A river in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, which flows into the Humber.
